Some of the extraordinary results include $42,875 for 12 bottles of 1999 Corton Charlemagne from JF Coche-Dury, $36,750 for 12 bottles 1991 Ermitage, Cuvée Cathelin, from Jean-Louis Chave, $20,825 for 12 bottles 1970 Vega Sicilia Unico, and $17,150 for 12 bottles 1978 Hermitage La Chapelle, Paul Jaboulet Aîné.
